The market for collectible wine has grown tremendously in recent years. Much of this growth is due to spectacular increases in the prices for Burgundy wine. This lecture will explore this trend in depth, from its genesis with burgeoning demand in the Asian markets to an overview of the principal producers, wines, and vintages that are gaining in value (and some that aren’t), to difficulties in valuing this stock and other potential issues such as the prevalence of counterfeit wines.

In this lecture recording, Charles Curtis MW, AAA, former head of Christie’s New York and Hong Kong wine departments and author of “The Original Grand Crus of Burgundy” discusses his beloved Burgundian treasures.
